Hi, I only know Dia for diagram drawing, is there another option?

Xfig is really amazing. You can even include latex equation in your Xfig graphics.

In addition to xfig, Slackware has Karbon14 (Graphics/Scalable Graphics) and for UML diagrams there is Umbrello (Development/UML Modeller). Of course, if you prefer Dia, there is a SlackBuild available for it:

Not to mention (OK, I am mentioning it) the big one: Openoffice.org. It's "Draw" application is quite good, and unless you really don't need a whole office suite, I recommend it.

Rather "different", but very fast, efficient and simple, and it supports important output formats: Tgif.

I've used it to plan where my furniture should be positioned when I had to move, and I prepared schematics for various professional and personal purposes with it.

BTW, I know all other programs recommended by the other posters so far, too, and they are good. Especially OpenOffice.org Draw is really powerful. But Tgif is still my personal favourite all-purpose drawing program.

I installed Dia, isn't new but does the work.

But if anyone have more suggestions...
